This post has been moved from the Canon thread....I made a list of the Nikon lenses I'd like to use on my 5DmkII as well as a bunch of others recently inherited. Not having alot of hands-on experience w HDSLR filmmaking (yet), wondering if any of the "inheritance" lenses would be worth experimenting with...if so, what adaptors would be recommended? The Nikon lenses, I figure will be w Fotodiox....

Nikkor AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm 1:2.8 G ED
Nikon 28mm 1:2.8 E series
Nikkor 50mm1:1.8 2143105
Nikkor-s Auto 1:1.4 f=50mm Nippon Kogaku Japan No. 575312
Nikkor-Q Auto 1:3.5 f=135mm Nippon Kogaku Japan No. 773660


Tamron 1:3.5 70-150mm CF TELE MACRO BBAR MC w Adaptall 20A No.119324- needs lens cap
Tamron 1:2.5 28mm49mm w Adaptall 2 02B No. 403294- needs rear cap
Tamron SP 90mm 1:2.5 55mm- needs both caps
Tamron 70-210mm 1:4-5.6 52 Japan w Adaptall- needs rear cap



Vivitar 100mm 1:3.5 MC Macro Japan 49mm
Vivitar Auto 2x Custom Tele-Converter Model 2X-5


Minolta MD zoom 100-200mm 1:5.6 japan 55mm


Kalimar MC Auto Zoom 1:3.5 28-70mm No.K8816860 58 (mounted on a Ricoh)


Some adaptors in the bag of goodies....

Tamron P/K (inscribed)
 
Of the above, I would suggest keeping the Nikon 50/1.4, the Tamrons except for the 70-210 (it's junk). You can get a EOS Adaptall mount from Ebay for cheap, which will allow you to mount the Tamron Adaptall lenses directly.

The Nikkor 60mm should fetch a few $$$.
 
I would test them all and see what works for you. There are plenty of lenses which have a special look which comes in handy for certain shoots.
 
^that's a very very good point

It really depends on which lenses you already have and what you need/like to shoot with

Which mount type are the vivtars and tamrons?

if Nikon mounts, just buy 1 or 2 adapters and switch out the lenses to see which you like
